Can Driving Test Subjects 2 and 3 Be Taken Together?
3 Answers
Driving test subjects 2 and 3 can be scheduled together for examination, but they cannot be taken during the same time slot; they must be taken consecutively. Below is relevant information about driving test subjects: 1. After passing Subject 1, applicants can schedule Subject 2 or Subject 3 (road driving skills test). In some regions, applicants may simultaneously schedule both Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests. If the scheduling is successful, the tests can be taken consecutively. 2. After passing both Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests, applicants can take Subject 4 (safe and civilized driving knowledge test) on the same day. 3. If the vehicle management office cannot arrange the tests within 60 days after applicants schedule Subject 2 and Subject 3 road driving skills tests, they may choose to schedule the tests at other examination centers within the same province (autonomous region, or municipality directly under the central government).
When teaching driving, I often take students, and it's really not possible to take the Subject 2 and Subject 3 tests together. You have to follow the sequence: first master the basic skills of the Subject 2 in-yard test, such as reverse parking and hill starts, and only after passing can you register for the Subject 3 road test. The test center regulations require staged registration; taking both on the same day isn't feasible due to impractical venue and time arrangements. I think this is quite reasonable, considering safety. Students need to accumulate experience step by step; suddenly taking the road test can easily lead to mistakes. I suggest you focus on practicing Subject 2 first and don't rush to do everything at once. During regular practice, simulate the tests in stages, and ask your instructor for details before the exam. This way, the pass rate is higher, and it's more worry-free.
I got my driver's license last year, and my personal experience tells me that Subject 2 and Subject 3 must be taken separately. After I passed Subject 2, I had to wait two days before I could schedule the Subject 3 road test. The exam system is very strict and does not allow combined scheduling. Subject 2 involves steering control exercises in the training ground, while Subject 3 tests comprehensive driving skills on actual roads. Taking both at the same time would be too stressful and inefficient. During my preparation, my coach repeatedly advised me not to rush, emphasizing the importance of building a solid foundation before hitting the road. This arrangement actually has many benefits, giving you time to adjust your mindset. I recommend practicing the two subjects separately during driving lessons and preparing for the next only after completing one—it's a more reliable approach.
